Ecological Footprint Initiative 👣🌍

#EarthOvershootDay. Derived from the comprehensive international dataset of Ecological Footprint and Biocapacity produced by our research team @EFI_YorkU

@UNDP Thanks for posting! Ecological Footprint overshoot is derived from UN faostat and fishstat data for 240+ countries, together with IEA data and others, into National Ecological Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts, from footprint.info.yorku.ca/data

Today is #EarthOvershootDay. As of Thursday, we have already used up more resources than can be renewed in 2024. This is an urgent wake-up call for each and every one of us to #ActNow for a more sustainable future for people and planet.

Meet Kiona! 😄 Kiona Lo is a Sustainability Data Analyst and supports the Ecological Footprint Initiative and YorkU's Sustainability Office. Read this post to learn more about her role and her research! 📈 #sustainability #emissions #carbon #ecologicalfootprint #biocapacity #data

Profits in the oil and gas industry are off the rails in the billions of dollars. Why are we subsidizing these corporations while they're gouging Canadians at the pumps? Subscribe to my #YouTube channel to get my latest speeches in the #HouseofCommons: youtu.be/bggWA_8LAsA

@OntarioNature #HandsOffTheGreenbelt Excellent analysis. Missing mention of the role played by massive population growth targeted for CAN/ON fueling #Bill23 & unbridled growth. Needed #ecologicalfootprint #carryingcapacity analysis @EFI_YorkU @EndOvershoot and #sustainablepopulationpolicy!

Our partners at @EndOvershoot present at #REWIREDGreen asking, "How much 'Earth' do you take up?" Watch online: wired.com/video/watch/re… #endovershoot #ecologicalfootprint

Did you know that we are partnered with Global Footprint Network? We produce and publicize the National Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts! GFN is committed to ending overshoot and works with us to track the EF and Biocapacity of over 200 countries and regions! @EndOvershoot

Rural Ontario Institute and Ecological Footprint Initiative are collaborating with a @yorkueuc MES student to implement our metrics into 4 rural communities in Ontario. By collaborating, we will be able to discover factors to EF in rural communities. Stay tuned! #ruralontario

I am so so sorry to hear that the brilliant Herman Daly - founding father of ecological economics - has died. His paradigm-changing work flipped my little econ head inside out & inspired me to write a book on rewriting economics… Here are just some of his big ideas 1/n.

We share in mourning the loss of Herman Daly. Admired for the clarity of his thinking and his kindly manner, he was a founder of #EcologicalEconomics (@ISEEORG). His pathbreaking work on the #SteadyState economy set the ground for new economic thinking. #PostGrowth #BeyondGDP

Great feedback from world-renowned experts on the ecological footprint @EFI_YorkU, following a Census of Environment presentation to footprint.info.yorku.ca/about. Thank you for the opportunity and looking forward to a productive collaboration!

Today we are launching the Census of Environment #CofE Over time, we will deliver a full picture of the complex relationship between ecosystems and the economy, society, and human health in one easily accessible location. statcan.gc.ca/en/subjects-st…

There is a trend for accounting to be asset-centric, UN advises the approach of ecosystem accounting which start with ecosystem services and identifies downstream benefits societies get from these services. #EcologicalEconomics

François Soulard @Soulfra shared key processes and outcomes from the "Census of Environment: A roadmap to environmental and economic sustainability" with EFI students and members of our broader community. @YorkUEUC #EcologicalEconomics
